The fleet imbalance behind an early Jutland scenario

An early Jutland scenario meets a much larger British fleet, although the question's 1906 date and the reply's 1904 comparison differ.

Question

What happens if a Jutland-like fleet battle occurs in 1906?

Short answer

Britain would heavily outnumber Germany in the comparison offered, although the question asks about 1906 and the answer uses 1904.

Notes

Successive British construction programmes had produced a much larger battle fleet by the early twentieth century. The shipbuilding comparison places Germany heavily outnumbered before tactical decisions enter the calculation. The question specifies 1906, but the reply repeatedly uses 1904. That date difference remains unresolved in the answer.
